Heading into the 2022 season, the Seahawks looked destined for a top-10 pick in the 2023 draft. They still ended up with one, but it was different than the route most expected. The original thought was that the Russell Wilson-led Broncos would transfer a pick in the 20s to Seattle, while the Seahawks had their pick fall inside the top 10 after a lackluster season.
Those roles were completely reversed, and the Seahawks ended up with arguably the best cornerback in the draft, with the Broncos picked at fifth overall and arguably the best receiver at the draft at 20th overall.
With Geno Smith having resurrected his career, one of the best young running backs in the league in Kenneth Walker, one of the best receiving trios in the league, and an up-and-coming defense, the Seahawks are well-positioned to attack a wide-open NFC.
Will they live up to their rising expectations? Or will they fall back to Earth?

Seahawks Win Total Odds
- Over 9.0 Wins (+110)
- Under 9.0 Wins (-130)
Seahawks Win Total Bet: Over 9.0 (+110)
Caesars Sportsbook • WAGER: 1.0 unit
If you look at the Seahawks’ opening schedule, they’ll be 4-0 heading into their Week 5 bye after starting the season with the Rams, Lions, Panthers, and Giants. Things get a little tougher after that, but they still have a bunch of games they should be favored in (Cardinals x2, Rams, Commanders, Steelers, Browns, Titans) and if they win all of those games, that gets them to 11 wins.
I don’t want to assume they’ll win every single one of those games, but we have yet to get into toss-up territory. And even if they drop one of those games, they’re still at 10 wins and hit the over here. I only thought this once I looked at their schedule, but I am bullish on the Seahawks.
Seahawks Make Playoffs Odds
- Yes (-130)
- No (+110)
Seahawks Make Playoffs Bet: Yes (-130)
Caesars Sportsbook • WAGER: 1.0 unit
If you read that blurb above, you can probably decipher that I think the Seahawks will make the playoffs. You can make a viable case that there will be multiple NFC teams with a sub-.500 record that make the playoffs this year, so it’s safe to say the Seahawks should roll their way to the playoffs. Do I fully trust Geno Smith? Not really. But the Seahawks will be much closer to winning their division than fighting for a Wild Card spot.
Seahawks Futures Prop Bets
Division Winner (+230)
Caesars Sportsbook • WAGER: 0.75 units
It’s probably more likely that the Seahawks, ranked No. 12 in our NFL offense power rankings, will finish second in the NFC West, but the 49ers’ quarterback situation makes this an interesting proposition. If the 49ers falter, the Seahawks are well-positioned to take the NFC West, as the Rams and Cardinals will likely struggle to win more than five or six games.
Division Total Wins: Over 3.5 (-145)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 0.50 units
The Seahawks have six divisional matchups this season. If you can imagine that they beat up on the Cardinals twice, they only have to win two out of their four games against the Rams and 49ers. They probably win both against the Rams with a chance to split against the 49ers.
Most Regular Season Receiving Yards: DK Metcalf (+3500)
DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 0.50 units
This isn’t a likely winner (hence the odds), but DK Metcalf should be a lock for a thousand receiving yards, so it’s still in the realm of possibilities. If he can benefit from a single cover with Jaxson Smith-Njigba now in the fold, Metcalf could have some massive games that propel him to the promised land here.

How to Bet on Seahawks Games in 2023
How to Bet Seahawks Moneylines
NFL moneyline wagers are the simplest forms of NFL bets. All you have to do is pick a team to win a given game, and if they do, you win your bet.
Since winning is the only requirement to cash your bet, the odds for NFL moneylines can vary greatly depending on each team’s implied probability of winning (or losing) that game. Favorites are designated by a minus symbol (-200), whereas underdogs are represented by a plus symbol (+200).
If the Seahawks are a (-200) favorite against the rival 49ers, you would have to bet $20 to turn a $10 profit. If Seattle was a (+200) underdog, you would profit $20 off a $10 bet.
- 2022 Seahawks Moneyline Record: 9-8
How to Bet Seahawks Spreads
Betting the spread is the most efficient way to wager on NFL games, as it presents two evenly priced options. The spread, which is assigned a value by the books, is the number of points that the favorite is expected to win by against the underdog.
If the Seahawks are 6-point favorites over the Steelers, the spread for that game will be set up like this: Seahawks -6 (-110) vs Steelers +6 (-110).
In this scenario, the Seahawks would have to win by more than six points for you to win your bet. If they were to win by a pair of field goals, your bet would push and you would recoup your initial wager.
Seattle struggled against the spread last year, but they should be a good bet moving forward due to their improvements on both sides of the ball.
- 2022 Seahawks Against the Spread Record: 7-10
How to Bet Seahawks Over/Unders
If you don’t want to pick a side, you can still bet on Seahawks games by wagering on the total number of points scored.
Sportsbooks set the amount of combined points they expect both teams in the game to score, and then you can bet on either the Over or the Under.
If you expect Smith, Metcalf, and the Seahawks to light up the scoreboard, then you’ll probably want to take the Over. If you think a specific game could be more defensive, then you would bet the Under. Seattle’s games underwhelmed re: scoring expectations last season, but they should be priced higher this year after the additions to the offense.
- 2022 Seahawks Over/Under Record: 8-9
